Sales execution & revenue recovery · Minneapolis

We own the revenue layer after the lead.

NEXT Revenue runs the sales conversations, the follow-up, and the recovery of stalled opportunities for founder-led businesses with proven offers. You keep your checkout, your brand, and your data. We get paid when cash is collected.

Built for consultation-based offers with real demand. Not lead generation. Not a call center.

Who we work with

Consultation-based businesses with more demand than closing capacity.

If your buyers book a call before they buy, you have two things most owners never fully capture: live conversations that deserve a professional closer, and a growing list of people who talked to you and stalled.

Coaching & education

Programs, certifications, mentorship

Enrollment calls, admissions conversations, cohort starts.

Fitness & wellness

Transformation and coaching businesses

Consultations, assessments, strategy sessions, trial visits.

Professional services

Advisory, agencies, consultancies

Discovery calls, proposals, and quotes that went quiet.

High-ticket services

Premium personal and home services

Any offer where a quote or consult precedes a $1,500+ purchase.

Two engagements

Start with the fastest revenue. Expand when the numbers earn it.

Most clients begin with Recovery because it works the opportunities they have already paid to generate. Live sales execution follows once attribution, reporting, and fit are proven.

02

NEXT Revenue

Managed sales execution for your live pipeline. We take the qualified calls, own the follow-up, keep the CRM honest, and report on cash collected, not promises.

  • Qualified sales calls: discovery, objections, payment conversations, next steps
  • Persistent follow-up that protects your pricing and your brand
  • Pipeline discipline: stage definitions, next-action ownership, stall visibility
  • Collected-revenue reporting tied to assigned opportunities and real payments
  • Proving period capped at 20 held qualified calls

How an engagement runs

Four steps from first conversation to a day-30 decision.

STEP 01

Fit call

Fifteen minutes on your offer, your call volume, and what happens to the people who don't buy. We tell you straight if a pilot isn't worth running.

DAY 0
STEP 02

Scope & agreement

Written services agreement, pilot schedule, and intake. Attribution rules, approved messaging, channels, and caps are set before anyone is contacted.

WEEK 1
STEP 03

30-day pilot

We work the approved cohort or the assigned calls. You see a weekly statement of engagements, orders, and settled cash, matched to your records.

DAYS 1–30
STEP 04

Decision

Stop, extend, or expand. Continuing is justified only when the economics, the buyer experience, and the operating fit work for both sides.

DAY 30
The economics

You pay from money that was already gone.

Fees are earned only on settled cash attributed to our work, after refunds and chargebacks. No retainer, no setup fee, no payroll, no management fee. If nothing comes in, you owe nothing.

✕No upfront or monthly fee
✕No fee on booked revenue, verbal yeses, or unpaid installments
✕No fee on purchases we never had a real conversation about
✕No customer card data or funds ever handled by NEXT

Operating standards

Your brand is on every message. We treat it that way.

Approval

Client-approved messaging only

Offers, prices, incentives, and templates are approved in writing before outreach. No unapproved discounts, guarantees, or claims.

Attribution

Defined before revenue arrives

Which records, which windows, what counts as a conversation, and how installments and reversals are treated, all agreed in the schedule.

Compliance

CAN-SPAM, TCPA, consent

Approved channels and hours only. SMS only with documented consent. Every opt-out honored immediately and reported within one business day.

Payments

Your checkout, always

Customers pay you directly. NEXT never collects, holds, or processes customer funds or card data.

Data

Least-access, named accounts

Client data stays in your systems where possible, accessed through named logins, and returned or deleted within 30 days of the engagement ending.

Reporting

Weekly, reconciled, auditable

Every attributed order carries a release ID, engagement notes, order reference, and payment confirmation you can check against your own records.

Austin Donahue
Founder & Managing Member
Minneapolis, Minnesota
The founder

Built by a closer who has spent his career on the other side of the handoff.

Austin started in corporate sales selling automation software, then spent years as a high-ticket closer converting warm, qualified leads into premium clients. In both careers he watched the same revenue disappear in the same place: after the lead arrived, between the first conversation and the payment.

NEXT Revenue exists to own that layer for founder-led businesses. Austin personally leads every engagement until it is scaled, sustainable, and stable, and the company grows account by account rather than by promising a bench it has not built.

“The first engagement is not about selling a promise. It is about earning the right to continue.”

Straight answers

Questions owners ask before a pilot.

Do you generate leads?
No. We work with businesses that already have qualified opportunities. Recovery works the ones that stalled; Revenue works the ones that are live.
Why 20%?
Because there is no launch fee, management fee, or payroll. We carry the fixed cost and the ramp risk, and we earn only when attributable cash settles. On recovered revenue, that is money you were collecting none of.
What counts as attributable collected revenue?
Settled payments from records released to us, where we had a real two-way conversation about the purchase, the first order landed within the agreed window, and you confirmed the payment. Opens, clicks, and unanswered calls never count. Refunds and chargebacks are credited back.
Who contacts my prospects, and how?
Austin does, identifying NEXT Revenue as working with your company, through the channels you approve, inside agreed hours, with your approved messaging. Every opt-out is honored immediately.
What do you need from us to start?
One owner who can release records, approve messages, and confirm payments; your offer and checkout details; and a view into the records you want worked. The intake form covers it in about 20 minutes.
What happens after 30 days?
A structured review of engagements, orders, cash collected, and operating fit. You decide to stop, extend, or expand. Nothing renews automatically.
